Charlie’s voice, firm as ice, carried a bone-chilling weight that sent shivers down everyone’s spine. It even sent Todd into a state of paralyzing fear.

Of course, Todd had no desire to meet an untimely end, and he certainly didn’t want his family to suffer the same fate as the families of those he had mercilessly taken from. He found himself in a moment of deep regret, pleading with Charlie for a sense of justice, a decision that would haunt him for the rest of his days.

Tears flowed down his cheeks as he sank to his knees, repeatedly bowing and kowtowing, hands clasped in desperate prayer for Charlie’s mercy. But Charlie offered no respite.

Observing Todd’s silence, Charlie coldly declared, “Since you can’t make the choice, then I will make it for you.”

He turned to Wesley, who stood nearby and ordered, “Begin with the first task I mentioned earlier, a thorough investigation. Remember to document every step, capturing it on video. Let him witness firsthand the consequences of treating others in the manner he has. This man has taken countless lives, and unless he’s prepared to make amends, we’ll see him off once we’ve dealt with his family.”

Wesley nodded immediately. “You can count on us, Mr. Wade. We’ll handle it.”

Todd, upon hearing this, realized that even if his family faced the same fate, he had no way to escape death himself. Despair washed over him entirely.

While terrified and dreading his impending demise, he grit his teeth and muttered, “I… I choose the second option.”

In his mind, it was better for one life to be sacrificed than the collective annihilation of his entire family. Todd understood the distinction between one and many.

Charlie had never intended to end Todd’s life, for he wasn’t Zayne or Xion, blindly loyal to the Banks family. Todd’s choice of the second option changed Charlie’s perspective. He decided to aid him and, in the process, offer a stark lesson on the price of betrayal and defiance.
